In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad examines Leviticus chapters 23 and 24, focusing on the feasts commanded by God and the serious consequences of blasphemy. Fr. Matthias explains the significance of the Sabbath as a feast day and explores the Jewish feasts such as Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of First Fruits, Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. He highlights how these feasts relate to the agricultural cycle and their spiritual meaning in both the Old and New Testament contexts. Fr. Matthias also discusses the change of Sabbath observance to Sunday in Christian tradition and clarifies the church’s authority in interpreting these laws. The study concludes with the story of the blasphemer and the justice it represents, linking it to God’s judgment and mercy. This teaching offers a connection between Old Testament feasts and Christian faith practices.
